I had some leftover material in my stash, from making shelters, hammocks, and other gear, and decided to construct a new lightweight pack for my upcoming AT section hike. It is made of silnylon, ripstop nylon, and X-Pac VX. The X-Pac is used on the side panels and bottom for a little extra abrasion resistance, Sil for the front and back, ripstop and mesh for the back pocket, ripstop for the side pockets. Has two nylon webbing compression straps on both sides, and the top lid is sil, with a water proof zipper with an ample storage compartment. Drawstring closure. I made the hip belt and shoulder straps, but not the belt pouches. Those were swapped from another pack.
